About this app

Pocket Paint is a drawing app that allows you to edit graphics, images, and photos, make parts transparent, zoom in up to single pixel level, and much more! Together with Catrobat’s app Pocket Code it also allows you to easily create animations, apps, and games directly on your smartphone!

Images are saved under Photos and Gallery.

Features:
-- Save images as .jpg (compressed), .png (lossless, with transparency), or .ora (keeping layer information)
-- Layers (including moving up and down or merging them)
-- Stickers from the Catrobat family images and more (only for this it accesses the internet)
-- Tools: brush, pipette, stamp, circle/ellipse, cropping, flipping, zooming, line tool, cursor, fill tool, rectangle, eraser, moving, rotation and much more!
-- Easy import of images and graphics
-- Full screen drawing
-- Color palette or RGBa values

incredible for being a phone app. one thing though, there doesn't seem to be a way to select and move/transform something, only cut then move then paste(?), transform just transforms the whole project which isn't what i want. also the hex code is a bit weird, i don't think it needs the first characters for opacity, i had to look up what it meant. but yeah overall great.

I like that this app doesn't share your data with third parties, a lot of similar apps do. I'm used to Microsoft Paint and I was looking for an alternative for android. I like using the Pipette and Brush combo to replace an area with a colour nearby. However, I found that while using the Smudge tool (for a similar outcome) I found it to be unintuitive that a blot of smudge would be left on the page when I tried to zoom in/out and move around the page as I worked.

downloaded the app. can't get past the 5 introduction pages. can't press skip/next/let's go because the navigation buttons of my Xperia 1 VII are projected over the app buttons. I would have given 5 but can't use the app.
